The baserunning logic is good, though. That needed a bit of a tweak, except now I'll have to adjust my sliders again

I saw the same thing about pitchers being fixed for fatigue bug but it doesnt mention position players.

Addressed issue with pitcher fatigue in franchise mode

• After a user game was played in-game, the pitchers who played would have their stamina reset to 99 the following day

My thoughts on patch notes (as PS3 patch not available)

- like more grounders than soft liners
- don't like MORE HRs by cpu power hitters and less by smaller guys. This was never a problem and I believe they should have BOOSTED the smaller guys HR numbers. This is going in the wrong direction imo.
- Not sure about the new take and swing logic changes
- Like the new AI regarding cpu starting and relief pitchers
- Like that cpu outfielders will try to gun out guys more often and like the cpu base runners will try to score more. My biggest beef wasn't the desire to go from 1^st to 3^rd but simply stopping on third with a good chance to score
- Like new baserunning camera option
- Glad fatigue and in game injury frequency was fixed; huge for franchise!
- Like fixed frame rate issue
- Auto base running and auto fielding options are added. Options are always good.

PC version

Chapman now throws 104 MPH he topped out at 99 pre-patch

Can anyone that's played this verify that position players do get fatigued? I thought I saw it earlier in the thread, but I wasn't sure if it was for 360 or not.

Again, this is when you play the game, the next day your position players should have some fatigue.

Just played my first game since the patch and what a game. I played the MLB Today game as the Rangers vs Royals. I won the game in a nailbiter 1-0.

The AI batter logic has definitely improved. On a couple of occasions I made good pitches out of the zone on pitcher's count and the AI was willing to swing.

The framerate issue on foul balls has been fixed and the game plays much more smoothly overall. This includes no more wonky animations in the outfield where the player looked like Gumby making the catch. The jagged shadows are less pronounced.

The most impressive thing I saw gameplay wise in this particular game was what happened in the late innings. The game was 0-0, I had a man on 1st and 2nd with no outs in the inning. Julio Borbon was up and I decided to attempt the SAC bunt. A decent bunt was put down towards the 1st base side a bit closer to the 1st baseman than the pitcher. Instead of making the easy play at 1st the AI gunned it to 3rd for the close play. The AI got the out at 3rd. My point being, the AI was situationally aware.

This game was a 7/10 in my book prior to the patch, but now I would give it an outstanding 9/10.

I'm glad 2k didn't rush this patch out the door. Thanks for a great product. I will be having hours of fun playing this game.

I can confirm that. Position players do get fatigued.
They have alo added Rhianna in the stands when Matt Kemp is playing in La. Preeeeeeettyyyyyyy coooooool I must say.

I'm extremely jazzed at the patch notes. They hit on every issue I had with the game. I can't wait to get home, haven't played a couple of weeks.

The notes look awesome and love the positive feedback.

I'll be finally buying this game now on Friday when I get paid. Sounds like the patch was worth the wait.

Kudos to 2K. You just made a late sale.
